I went running at 10pm like every murder victim on any murder podcast ever. It went great! I love it when nobody's around! Wish my insomnia was magically cured, so I could go back to running early in the morning when nobody is around instead

Selfie Pod Hire: The Trend Transforming Events

In today’s fast-paced and digitally-driven world, events have evolved beyond mere gatherings. They are experiences that blend entertainment, engagement, and creativity. One of the most exciting trends transforming the event landscape is the rise of selfie pods. These modern photo stations have captured the imagination of event planners and attendees alike, bringing a fresh and interactive element to celebrations. This article explores the phenomenon of selfie pod hire, examining how they elevate events, their unique features, and why they have become a must-have at gatherings of all kinds.

What is a Selfie Pod?

A selfie pod is a compact, user-friendly photo booth designed to capture high-quality images in a fun and engaging way. Unlike traditional photo booths that are often enclosed with limited interaction, selfie pods typically feature an open design, allowing guests to step up, pose, and take selfies with ease. Equipped with advanced technology such as high-resolution cameras, touch screens, and instant printing capabilities, selfie pods cater to the modern social media-savvy audience, making them a perfect addition to any event.

These pods often come with customizable features, allowing hosts to tailor the experience to fit their event’s theme, brand, or aesthetic. From backdrops and props to personalized photo templates, selfie pods can seamlessly integrate into the overall ambiance of the occasion.

Why Selfie Pods are Gaining Popularity

1. Instant Gratification

In an age where instant sharing is the norm, selfie pods provide immediate gratification to guests. After snapping a photo, users can instantly view, edit, and print their images within seconds. This quick turnaround not only enhances the excitement of taking a photo but also ensures that guests leave with tangible memories from the event. The ability to share these images on social media platforms immediately also contributes to the popularity of selfie pods, as attendees can showcase their experiences in real time.

2. Enhanced Guest Engagement

Selfie pods foster a sense of engagement and interaction among guests. The open design encourages attendees to gather around, take turns posing, and share in the fun. This social aspect is particularly appealing for events where mingling and networking are essential, such as weddings, corporate parties, and festivals. The interactive nature of selfie pods breaks the ice and encourages guests to connect on a more personal level, making the event more memorable.

3. Customization and Theming

One of the standout features of selfie pods is their versatility and customization options. Event hosts can personalize the pods to align with their theme or brand identity. This includes selecting backdrops, props, and even the design of the printed photos. Whether it’s a glamorous wedding, a quirky birthday party, or a professional corporate event, selfie pods can be tailored to create a cohesive experience that resonates with attendees.

For instance, at a wedding, couples can choose elegant floral backdrops and romantic props, while at a corporate event, branded elements can be incorporated to reinforce the company’s identity. This level of customization enhances the overall experience and makes the selfie pod a focal point of the event.

Unique Features of Selfie Pods

1. Advanced Technology

Selfie pods are equipped with cutting-edge technology that enhances the user experience. High-resolution cameras capture stunning images, while touch screens allow guests to easily navigate the interface. Many selfie pods also come with built-in editing features, enabling users to apply filters, add stickers, or incorporate text into their photos before printing or sharing.

2. Social Media Integration

Given the importance of social media in today’s society, many selfie pods offer seamless integration with various platforms. Guests can instantly share their photos on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter, further amplifying the event’s reach and visibility. Some pods even feature dedicated hashtags, encouraging attendees to tag their photos, which can create a sense of community around the event.

3. GIF and Boomerang Capabilities

To keep the experience fresh and engaging, many selfie pods also offer GIF and Boomerang functionalities. Guests can capture short, looping videos that add a dynamic element to their photo-taking experience. These animated clips are not only entertaining but also highly shareable, making them a popular choice for social media content.

The Versatility of Selfie Pods

Selfie pods are incredibly versatile, making them suitable for a wide range of events. Here are a few examples of occasions where selfie pod hire can elevate the experience:

1. Weddings

Weddings are all about capturing precious moments, and selfie pods provide a fun way for guests to document their experience. Couples can customize the pod to reflect their theme and encourage guests to take candid photos throughout the celebration, from the ceremony to the reception.

2. Corporate Events

For corporate events, selfie pods can serve as an engaging icebreaker. They can be branded with the company’s logo and colors, allowing employees and clients to create fun memories while reinforcing brand identity. It’s an effective way to encourage networking and interaction among attendees.

3. Birthday Parties

Selfie pods are a hit at birthday parties, especially milestone celebrations. Guests can enjoy taking playful photos with themed props and backdrops, creating a lively atmosphere that captures the joy of the occasion.

4. Festivals and Public Events

At large-scale events such as festivals, fairs, and concerts, selfie pods can attract attendees and encourage participation. They serve as engaging attractions that provide entertainment while allowing guests to leave with personalized keepsakes.

Enhancing the Event Experience

To maximize the impact of a selfie pod at your event, consider incorporating additional elements that complement the experience. Here are a few ideas:

1. Themed Props and Accessories

Provide a variety of themed props and accessories that align with your event’s theme. This encourages creativity and adds an element of fun to the photo-taking process. Consider offering hats, masks, glasses, or signs that guests can use to express themselves.

2. Guestbook Integration

Incorporate a guestbook alongside the selfie pod where attendees can paste their printed photos and leave messages. This creates a cherished keepsake that the host can look back on long after the event has ended.

3. Photo Contests

Host a photo contest to encourage guests to get creative with their selfies. Consider categories such as “funniest photo” or “most creative use of props,” and award small prizes to the winners. This adds an element of friendly competition and encourages more people to engage with the selfie pod.

Conclusion: Transform Your Event with Selfie Pod Hire

Selfie pod hire is a trend that is transforming events by providing a unique and interactive experience for guests. With their instant gratification, advanced technology, and endless customization options, selfie pods have become a must-have addition to weddings, parties, and corporate gatherings alike. By fostering engagement and creating lasting memories, they elevate the overall experience and leave attendees with cherished keepsakes.

As you plan your next event, consider the benefits of incorporating a selfie pod. With the right setup and creative ideas, you can ensure that your celebration is not only enjoyable but also unforgettable. Embrace this trend and watch as your event transforms into a lively and memorable occasion filled with laughter, connection, and joy.

🌅Sunsets in Sydney🌅

Genre: Fluff, childhood best friend to lovers, Idol! Felix x Reader, Humor, slight cursing, she fell first but he fell harder. 

Words: 2.1k 

Summary: After being on tour for a whole year, Felix is finally back in Sydney for a well-deserved break. While he is ecstatic to be with his family again, there’s one person who he wants to see most. His childhood best friend and crush, Y/N. 

A/n: Okay, can I start this off by saying, Holy crap… Thank you to all who like or reblogged my first fanfic with Han!! ( click his name if you wanna read it ! ) I honestly thought it wasn’t that good since I wrote it in a very sleep-deprived state, lol. But y’all proved me wrong🥹❤️‍🩹 That said, I hope you guys also like this story with Felix! Like always, if you have any feedback or want to make a special request just DM me!! Here’s also my latest one with Seungmin as well 🫶🏼

P.S Does anyone else have “that’s not very nice” stuck in their head too?

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⋅•⋅⊰∙∘

365 days. 

That's how long Felix has been away from the place he calls home. And no, he doesn't mean his actual home back in Sydney. He means being away from his childhood best friend, Y/n. 

Felix and Y/n have been best friends since grade school. They have always been there for each other, from performing in talent shows to caring for each other when one falls ill. They are like two peas in a pod; wherever one goes, the other is sure to follow.

On the day Felix had to tell Y/n that he was leaving Sydney to become an idol in Korea, he broke down crying. He was worried that being thousands of miles away from his closest friend would strain their relationship. As he was about to board the plane, he turned around to see Y/n waving goodbye to him with tears streaming down her face, and he couldn't help but cry, too.

Surprisingly, Felix and Y/n's friendship didn't end after that day. Instead, their bond grew even stronger. Y/N would constantly update Felix through text or calls, sharing the details of her day and making sure he didn't miss out on anything important. While Felix enjoyed receiving these updates, what he loved most was the pictures his mom would send him of Y/n with his family on small family trips. Seeing her smile and taking selfies with his sisters always warmed his heart.

He had already surpassed the stage of simply developing feelings for Y/n. Felix adored her. He loved her. Whenever he watched a video of a couple on TikTok or Instagram, he imagined how to recreate the same videos with Y/n by his side. His heart skipped when Y/n surprised him at one of his earlier concerts with Olivia and Hannah, Chan's sister. The memory of her dancing his part of God's Menu while Hannah danced Chan's part on the big screen was something he would never forget. Since that night, Felix had been planning to confess his love to Y/n, and he decided to do it under the sunset in Sydney.

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽

Under the hot summer sun, Felix's freckled face is lit up with a big smile as his family rushes to greet him. Olivia is the first to embrace him, screaming, "Oh my God, do you even know how I miss you, Lix?!"

Felix laughed, embracing his youngest sister and repeating, "I miss you more." He noticed that Olivia had grown a bit since the last time he saw her and that her hair was now dyed at the ends. Noticing her brother staring at her hair, Olivia mentioned that Y/N did it a few days ago at one of their usual girls' nights. His mom and dad were the next two to hug him tightly, with his mom shedding a few happy tears.

"I say this every time, but I am so happy to have my baby back home."

Felix wraps his arms around his mom, hugging her as he says, "I am happy to be back home to Mom."

Felix was sitting in the back of a car, his mind preoccupied with thoughts of Y/n. He was waiting for her message, asking if he had reached home safely, but he had yet to receive any message from her. Although this was unusual, he assumed she might be busy.

Suddenly, Olivia abruptly interrupts Felix's train of thought, "So, are you finally going to ask Y/n to be your girlfriend while you're here, or are we still sticking to the whole 'she's just my best friend' excuse?" The unexpected question catches Felix off guard. His face turns red with embarrassment as his mother turns her head around from the passenger seat, waiting for a response.

Avoiding eye contact with his mother and sister, Felix clears his throat, allowing himself to find the right words.

"Um.. what makes you think I even have feelings for her?"

Olivia stares at her older brother, scolding him with his earlier response, "Felix be so fucking for real right now. It's obvious you have feelings for Y/n. You look at her as if she is your whole world, your face lights up with a smile whenever she texts you, and you always seem to find a way to talk about her when we talk on the phone. If that doesn't scream, "I am in love with my best friend," then I don't know what does. Oh, and before you go and argue with me about this, even the boys agree that you are completely strung up on her. So do us all a favor and tell her how you feel, will you?"

Felix sighs as he looks up to see his sister's gaze. He knew he had to come clean now before his plans got ruined. 

"Have I mentioned how much I dislike you sometimes, Liv?"

"Yeah, but I'm your favorite sister, so start spilling before I call Hyunjin and have him tell Y/n to you." 

During the last five minutes of their car ride, Felix confided in his family about his plan to ask Y/n out when they reached the house. He made them promise not to say anything to Y/n about his plan since he wanted to create a memorable and private moment between them.

As Felix's father pulled into the driveway, Felix noticed Y/n's car parked across the street. His heart raced as he jumped out of the car, ignoring his mother's yelling about not going inside yet. 

Felix barges through the main door and stops when he sees the handmade "Welcome Home Lixie" banner that Y/n was struggling to put up. He chuckles softly and leans by the living room doorway, watching as she gets on her tiptoes to hook the string onto the nail.

"You know, I could've helped you put up the banner, sunshine if you would've waited a little longer."

Y/n turns around to find Felix smirking. Blushing, she runs to him and hugs him. He hugs her back, lifting her up and spinning her around.

Trying not to cry on his shoulders, Y/n ever so softly whispers, "You have no idea how much I missed your hugs, Lix."

"Me too, sunshine, it's been way too long."

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⋅•⋅⊰∙∘

After returning home and having dinner early, Felix went upstairs to his room. There, he discovered a welcome-home basket in the center of his bed. The basket contained his favorite candies, face masks, a small chicken plushie, and gift cards to his preferred places. Felix smiled, realizing that it was a gift from Y/n. She was always the type to spoil others with gifts, even if it was a small occasion. Looking through the gifts in the basket, he heard a soft knock on the door, and Y/n walked in. When Felix looked up at her, they locked eyes for the second time that day. Time seemed to come to a standstill, and after a while, Y/n was the first to break the silence.

"I hope you like it; I saw it on Tiktok late last night and thought I should make you one."

"I love it a lot; thank you, sunshine." 

He gives her a soft smile and motions for her to sit with him on the bed. She walks over and sits beside him, watching him unwrap more gifts. Y/n can't help but laugh as Felix brings the chicken plushie up to his face, jokingly asking, "Do you think it looks like me?"

"As much as I want to say yes, I feel like I am going betray BbokAri, so I must lie and say no."

Felix and Y/n laugh as Felix places the plushie back on the shelf behind him. The room lights up in a golden hue, indicating the sun is about to set. Without wasting more time, Felix takes Y/n's hand and leads her out of his room and towards his car.

"Lix, what are you doing? Where are we going?"

"I was hoping we could watch the sunset together again, just like we did as kids. It's been quite some time since the last time we did, and let's face it, we're not getting any younger. Before we know it, we'll be as old as old man Chan."

""I'm going to tell him you said that," she says, laughing as she follows him to his car. They both jump in and drive to the nearby beach.

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⋅•⋅⊰∙∘

As the car pulled onto the sandy shore, Felix practically flew out of his side to open the door for Y/n. She beamed with delight as she stepped out, feeling the warm sand under her toes. Felix swiftly closed the car door and took her hand, leading her towards the beach. The sky was ablaze with a breathtaking display of pink and orange hues as the sun descended below the horizon.

"I forgot how pretty the sunset could be when you can see the reflection on the water."

"I know, but it's even prettier with you beside me," Felix responds. 

Y/n stands before Felix, unsure if he is joking or serious. He chuckles as she becomes flustered.

"You know that's not very nice."

"What isn't sunshine?"

"You saying that to me and not explaining what you mean," Y/n states as she turns away from him. 

Felix grabs Y/n by her waist and spins her, holding her close. Y/n's face flushes a deep shade of pink as she catches her breath. They've been close for years, but something feels different about this moment. There's a palpable tension in the air, a feeling of unspoken love that's hard to ignore. Felix looks deep into Y/n's eyes, examining how the sun's warm glow illuminates them. The sound of waves crashing against the shore adds to the moment's magic. Fighting the urge to kiss her immediately, Felix takes a deep breath as he stares into her eyes. 

"Do you remember why I decided to return home for a break instead of staying in the dorms with the boys?" Puzzled by his random question, Y/n nods her head, looking back into his dark brown eyes. 

"Of course I do. It was because you wanted to be with your family since you were homesick, Lix."

"You're right. But there's something important that I need to tell you, something that should've been said from the very beginning. Y/n, I like you. I'm in love with you. I love you so much that it hurts not to have you by my side most days or even to call you mine. The night before I left Sydney, I intended to confess my feelings to you, but I knew it was bad timing since I was leaving, and I didn't want to end our friendship. So, I kept it to myself for years. However, seeing you with Liv and Hannah at our concert earlier this year, dancing and singing to our songs, made me realize that what I felt for you was more than just a simple grade school crush. Y/n, I'd be lying if I said you weren't the person I want to spend the rest of my life with because I do. I want you to be mine, my only sunshine. And if you don't feel the same way, I understand..."

Felix was toward the end of his sentence when Y/n suddenly cut him off by pressing her lips against his. It was a bold move, but she had been crushing on Felix for what felt like an eternity and couldn't hold back any longer. When they finally pulled away, Felix looked at Y/n with a knowing smile, pressing his forehead on hers. In a very soft voice, Felix finally finishes his sentence. 

"I cannot imagine spending a single day without you by my side anymore. Will you do me the greatest honor of all and be mine forever?

""Until forever stops existing, my love."

If your taking requests could you do floyd x fem! Reader

From the time brozone was still a band. Y/n is Floyd's best friend, but they got married very young to eachother (y/n and Floyd also having kids if that's okay and if your uncomfortable with the married thing and the kid thing you can leave it out)

But Floyd just showing Branch old photo books and telling him and Poppy stories of how attracted Branch was to reader and treating her like a big sister. Even better if he still does

-🌹🌹

Floyd x Wife reader: FAMILY LIFE

The wedding was so sweet

He 100% cried

You both decided to get married after the band broke up- you’d been dating in secret so his brothers wouldn’t tear him- also because it might kill their image

You knew that you loved each other so you decided it didn’t matter if you got married young

I’d like to think he turned up at your pod on the night of the Brozone split up

A ring shakily held in his hand

Asks you to marry him and leave with him

You obviously agree- you end up getting married in Rock City (you also had your honeymoon there)

So all the photo books are full of your journeys

The first one Floyd showed Branch was full of your secret date photos

Your first date, you drinking a milkshake with two straws- the writing on the bottom of that photo says

“I thought we were gonna share- but she wanted to prove herself worthy”

That was obviously written by Floyd

One of branch’s favorites is a photo in a selfie style that showed Floyd smiling at you who was resting on his shoulder and branch asleep in your arms

The note on the bottom of that one simply says “our first ‘I love you’s’ in his handwriting with a heart drawn by you

There’s alot of photos of you that Floyd took of you and Branch

“She was there for my first steps?”

“Yeah, John Dory was so jealous when you walked to her not him”

The second one documents your engagement journey

Campfire photos, photos of you pranking each-other

Floyd points out his favorite which is you asleep on a camping bed in the middle of a lake

The writing was in your handwriting this time and simply said “watch your back Angel”

The third is full of wedding photos

These were professional photos- it was a really small wedding but you and Floyd agreed you wanted to do it sooner rather than later

He’s got another photo book that’s just full of wallet sized photos (he couldn’t decide which one was his favorite)

Keigo Takami/ Hawks x reader

W.C~ 2k

~ Your date at the Fair turns from a questionable experience to a full-blown disaster when you and your online date get stranded at the top of the Ferris Wheel.

With the fair in town, you thought that spending the afternoon eating ridiculously sounding fair food, playing games, and riding the rides sounded like a picture-perfect first-date idea. But that's the problem with being a romantic.

You tend to get your hopes up…

"So… Are you having a good time so far?" the man sitting across from you asks for the 9th time this evening. The two of you had matched on a dating app a few weeks ago, and after many late nights of texting that filled your stomach with butterflies and heart with hope, you finally took the step and asked if he would like to actually go out.

But the evening has been less than ideal. Your date, although good-looking, clearly has some serious baggage from his last relationship that even your 'I can fix him' mindset wants to turn away from. 

He has refused to go on ride after ride after ride with you, claiming that he and his friends rode all of them last year and thought they were just a waste of time. And he turned his nose up at any of the mouthwateringly atrocious fair food you wanted to try out and dragged you to the only place on the fairgrounds that sold smoothie bowls, which may be delicious, but they are something you could eat any other day whilst cheddar cheese flavored ice cream is not.

You try to hide your frown as you spin the deep purple, soupy concoction with your spoon as you stare across at your dark haired date and tell him what you think is a convincing lie, "Yes, I'm having a great time. Thank you for the acai bowl."

"Don't mention it," he chuckles, wiping his berry-dusted chin with his sleeve. "I'm glad I was able to find us something in this place that was organic. All that deep-fried garbage they sell at the other stalls is repulsing."

"Maybe," you say, stirring your bowl even more, really not wanting to engage in any kind of debate with this guy. You take a bite of your bowl, and while it is good, you hate that it costs the same as half a tank of gas. 

Luckily, your date paid for that. 

Just getting up and leaving is always an option, but there is still hope that things can turn around, or at least you'll have a decent bad date story to tell your friends when the night is over.

"How about we go on the Ferris wheel?" he says at last, boredly scraping the button of his paper bowl with his spoon. 

"Really?" you say, thankful that you are finally able to go on one freaking ride on this date. Maybe you were being too critical of your date…

"Why not?" he says, "I didn't go on that one yet."

oh…

~

When you like someone, the idea of being wedged together on the Ferris wheel is something straight out of a romance movie, But when the already little spark of attraction you are feeling for your date has been drowned and smothered by the murky waters of his overflowing ego, the act is tortuous. 

Despite the little legroom in your pod, your date has decided to take up most of it with his wide stance; his obvious manspreading gets more and more stifling as you rise slowly into the air. The multicolored light bulbs of the wheel flicker, and you wonder briefly if that is normal.

It's getting a bit cold up here, isn't it?" he asks with a sly smile. It's honestly not cold at all; in fact, the warm air is kinda stuffy. Before you can say anything, his arm slings over your shoulder, and you dig your nails into your palm; it doesn't feel right; you know how you feel when you are attracted to someone, and this is not it.

The flash of a camera phone catches your attention and you blink away the spots in your vision. 

"Oh, that's perfect," he chuckles, looking at the selfie he just took of the both of you. "I'll send it to you and we can set it for our lock screens."

"Don't you think it's a little soon for that?" you ask, now wondering what kinda psycho you are trapped on this ride with.

"Hey, when you know you know Baby Cakes," he says with an almost hallmark channel level of confidence as he looks at the photo with a delusional smile. "Oh, we look great. I gotta send this photo to my Mom; she is gonna love you."

"Oh… how nice," you say dryly. You feel sick… in that moment, you decide that when you touch down on solid ground, you are going to get the hell out of dodge and take a cab home and leave this guy in the dust.  

The ride reaches its peak, and you sigh; at least you only have a few minutes left of this tortuous experience.  

"Hey, have you ever kissed someone at the top of a Ferris wheel before?" he asks, leaning in close. 

"Not really my thing," you say, scooting as far away from him as you can. But in the little car, you can't really go far. 

"Oh come on, don't be so shy, y/n, I don't ~" he starts to say when the ride suddenly jolts to a stop. Your little pod rocking back and forth."

"What was that?" he asks, getting a bit out of your bubble to look around. His lack of proximity makes you sigh in relief before realizing that you are stuck at the top of the Ferris wheel with this dude. 

Hopefully he doesn't try anything…

"Oh my god, oh my god, we're gonna die," he says, completely freaking out. "This is all your fault, y/n." He glares at you with tears streaming down your face as snot pours from his nose as he rocks the cart back and forth. 

You are speechless and have no idea what to do at this moment. All you can hope is that your date won't pee himself next to you in this little pod. 

You look down at the pavement; at least if you fall, you won't have to deal with this guy anymore…

Suddenly, a red feather whizzes by your face. You follow it with your eyes. Turning your head, you come face-to-face with the most beautiful man you've ever seen.

Bright golden eyes staring into yours warmly from behind a yellow visor. Crimson wings beat softly in the air. "Hey there, you look like you could use a hand."

"H-hawks." Your date says addressing the pro hero. "Thank God you're here. Please get me down."

"No problem, folks, I'll get you down; it looks like that machine down there is a little jammed, so you'll have to bear with me." His feathers harden as they whittle away at the steel safety harness that keeps you trapped in the air. 

"Now, don't move, all right? I had to cut the beam to get you guys out of here, so hang tight in those seat belts." He looks at you and holds out a hand. "how about I start with you? Wanna get back on solid ground?"

You smile. "So badly." His hand has a pleasant warmth through it, but right before a hero can gently take you out of your seat. The bench starts to swing rapidly.

"No!" your date screams, unbuckling his seatbelt. "don't take them, take me." he stands and lunges towards the Pro Hero, only to be halted in the air by a cluster of feathers latching to his clothing. 

His arm pushes you off balance, and you slip, letting out a yelp as you wonder if this is the end. Frightfully, you imagine yourself becoming one with the pavement below, the worst end to the worst date of your life. 

Strong arms are quick to grab you, and you are pulled into the safety of the winged hero's chest. "Don't worry, I gotcha," he says softly; the world beneath you makes your head spin. "Hey… Don't look down, you're safe. What's your name?" 

The unwavering care in his voice calms you, and you answer. Out of the corner of your eye, you see the feathers bringing your date down to the ground and setting him on the pavement with an unceremonious plop.

"Serves him right," you mutter, "This has been the worst first date of my life."

"Don't tell me there's gonna be a second." He jokes as his feathers start to free the other passengers, setting them on the ground; he brushes a strand of hair out of your face and winks, "Just between you and me, I think you can do way better than that guy."

Your cheeks heat under the hero's surprisingly flirty banter, and you realize that you are still nestled comfortably in his arms, high above the ground. But instead of feeling worried, you feel strangely comfortable. Your stomach seems to flutter as you are brought down to earth. 

"There you go," he says gently, placing you on solid ground. Although you are safe and sound, you can't help but feel a little disappointed that your short time with the Pro hero has to end so soon. 

"Thank you for helping me out up there," you say, remembering your manners. 

"It was my pleasure," he says; his golden gaze flickers from you to behind you and narrows. "Hey, I hope I'm not crossing a line or anything, but it looks like you may need a bit more saving." He gestures over to your still-sniveling date, who doesn't seem to notice you at all. 

"Ugh, where were you three hours ago?" you chuckle dryly. 

Your little comment sends him into a fit of laughter so hard he has to remove his visor to wipe tears from his eyes. "Sorry, I guess that saving your life was the best I could do."

"And you call yourself a hero," you shake your head and fight the smile on your lips. 

"Can I make it up to you?" he asks earnestly. "My patrol ends in a few, so I could take you home or somewhere else, maybe grab some food."

Your brain shorts out for a moment as you are shocked by this unexpected turn of events. 

Is he flirting with you?

This is Hawks, one of the most eligible bachelors in the country, and he is offering to take you to get food.

"It seems like you are going above and beyond the call of duty," you comment, watching as he tucks his wings to his back. 

"Well, it just seems right," he says honestly. "You look like you need a better day, and I'm starving. So what do you say? Wanna use me as a good old-fashioned rebound?"

The corners of your lips turn upward. "I would."

"Perfect, then let me work my magic, and we can get out of here." he smiles, the toothy grin looking much more natural than the ones you see plastered on the magazine covers. He turns and walks over to a sidekick in an elastic red suit. "Hey, this one is a bit shaken up, so I'm gonna help them home; you got everything handled over here, right?"

They nod, and he turns on a dime, walking over to you with a poorly concealed pep in his step. "Are you ready to go?" 

You nod eagerly. And motions for you to hang on tight to him. Although just a few minutes ago, you were disgusted at the idea of even brushing knuckles with your previous date, being in the arms of the hero is comfortable. 

He launches the two of you into the air, and the wind tickles your face. Leaving your sniveling date in the dust. 

"So where to first?" he yells above the breeze. 

"There's a really good fried chicken food truck near my place if you want to try it out?" you say after a bit of thought. 

His gaze fills with affection, and his laughter rises with his wings. "Oh, I think we are gonna get along just fine."

MUMMYS BOY PODCAST WITH Y/N L/N TRANSCRIPT EXCERPT

LISA: So, my sweet Y/N, how have you been? Y/N: I've been good! My youtube and tiktok have been taking off so it's been a bit hectic! LISA: Oh yes, I forgot you did the tikkytokky thing like Arthur. [ARTHUR AND Y/N LAUGH AT LISA SOFTLY] Y/N: Yes, I do the tikkytokky thing. It took a while to find my niche but I think I've finally found my place on there. LISA: I asked Arthur to help me set up an account so I could follow you. I love seeing your, oh, what are they called, Arthur? ARTHUR: Get ready with me's? LISA: Yes, that. You're always so happy, it makes me want to just... [LISA REACHES ACROSS TO PINCH Y/N'S CHEEK] ARTHUR: Mum, please unhand our guest. LISA: [LAUGHS] Y/N doesn't mind, do you sweetie? Y/N: Of course not! If it was Arthur on the other hand... ARTHUR: Ah yes, it's bully Arthur hour again. [LISA AND Y/N LAUGH] Y/N: What else are we supposed to do?

--

LISA: Oh, sweetie, before I forget, I still have the book you leant me last week! Y/N: The Song of Achilles? How did you find it? ARTHUR: I got a phone call of her crying her eyes out, you wicked woman. I thought something bad had happened! Y/N: Something bad did happen! They kept Achilles and Patroclus apart for so long... LISA: Oh, don't! You'll set me off again! I'm too scared to ask you for another recommendation! Y/N: [LAUGHS] I promise the next one won't be so sad! I just finished Romancing Mr Bridgerton which I think you'll really like! You've read the first Bridgerton book, haven't you? LISA: Oh yes, I loved it! Which sibling is the one you just finished? Y/N: It's Colin and Penelope! LISA: Their season is coming out soon, isn't it? Are you still coming round to watch it? Y/N: Where else would I be?! I've already planned the drinks and snacks for our Bridgerton marathon! ARTHUR: Can we not recommend regency porn to my mother in front of me? Y/N: And how do you know it's regency porn, Mr Hill? You told me you hadn't watched it. LISA: He wanted to know more about it since he knows you love it so much. ARTHUR: Mum! [LISA AND Y/N LAUGH AS ARTHUR LOOKS SCANDALISED] LISA: Oh, sorry, was I not supposed to say that? Y/N: How sweet of you Arthur, maybe you should come watch the new season with me and Lisa? ARTHUR: I refuse to watch the carriage scene in the company of my mother. [Y/N SQUEALS WHILST LISA BATS HER ARM] Y/N: So you've read the books? [SILENCE] ARTHUR: Ok, maybe I did...

--

LISA: You know, Y/N, you're such a lovely girl. Beautiful face, amazing personality and limitless prospects, how are you still single? Surely the guys must be beating down your door. Y/N: Thank you for that stellar review Lisa [LAUGHS]. Honestly, I'm quite happy with what I have at the moment! My careers taking off, I'm doing things I could only dream of and visiting places that are all over my pinterest boards. i'm not exactly looking for a relationship, but if one came along I wouldn't be opposed to seeing where things go! ARTHUR: Mum - LISA: [SHUSHES ARTHUR] so if you were looking for someone, what do you look for? Y/N: Why? Do you have someone in mind for me? [LAUGHS] [LISA SHRUGS] Y/N: Well I guess, if I had to choose, I'd love someone family oriented. I love my family more than anything on this earth so it would be nice to find someone who has the same ideals as me. Someone kind, of course, warm and funny. Someone with hobbies and passions we share but also separate ones so we can have our independence. The appearance really doesn't matter to me, I'm more someone who leans into personality. But, I mean, if they were smoking hot, it wouldn't hurt! [LAUGHS] LISA: And your hobbies are...? Y/N: Why do I feel like I'm on take me out or something? [LAUGHS] I like music and craft... Hiking is fun sometimes! I have to include reading as well!. [LAUGHS] I also like visiting museums and art galleries. And, of course, makeup! LISA: Arthur likes art galleries too, he took me to the Tate Modern the other week to show me the new exhibit! Y/N: [SHOCKED EXPRESSION] without me? Arthur, how could you? ARTHUR: Oh, so now I can speak? Also, you said you were busy! LISA: You also like hiking, don't you Arthur? I remember all the selfies you sent me when you were in LA. ARTHUR: I do... where is this going, Mum? Y/N: Yeah, where is this going Lisa? [LAUGHS] LISA: [SHRUGS] Nowhere, was just making some observations.

Backstage To My Heart

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏: 𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐓𝐨 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮, 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐁𝐞𝐞𝐧?

Ashley and Rave burst into the cozy warmth of the coffee shop, both laughing breathlessly, their clothes damp from the sudden downpour outside. The smell of fresh coffee and the hum of quiet conversations welcomed them as they shook off the rain. The city outside was blurred by the droplets racing down the glass, but inside, the warmth of the café wrapped around them like a soft blanket.

"That was sooo worth getting drenched," Rave grinned, wiping her damp forehead with the back of her hand.

"I know right? The London Eye is magical," Ashley added, Ashley grinned, her cheeks flushed from the run. "Worth it though. I haven’t laughed like that in ages."

Ashley grinned, her eyes sparkling. "And that hilarious pod mate who couldn't stop taking selfies!”

“That type of guys are everywhere!”

They found a small table by the window, with raindrops dancing against the glass, blurring the view of the streets beyond. Settling into their chairs, they caught their breath, the excitement of the afternoon still lingering. Ashley dug into her soggy bag and rummaging through it pulled out a well-worn notebook, her song diary. “I just hope this didn't get ruined..." She flipped it open, checking the pages carefully.

"Is it okay?" Rave asked, leaning over the table.

Ashley smiled in relief. "Dry as a bone, thank god. I don’t know what I would’ve done if this journal had ruined." she said, flipping through the pages.

But as she did, Rave’s eyes caught on something tucked between the pages—a photo peeking out. With a knowing smirk, she reached over and gently tugged at the corner of the picture. “You carry him everywhere you go, huh?” she teased.

Ashley glanced down and saw the photo of Harry, her heart giving a little flutter. She nodded with a soft smile. "Guilty as charged. I need him to even think of ideas."

Shaking off the moment, she clicked her pen and began to jot down some new song ideas in the margins of the page. The rain outside became a soft, steady rhythm as they chatted idly.

Suddenly, the soft patter of tiny footsteps interrupted their conversation. A little girl, no older than three, came running up to their table with wide, curious eyes. Her blonde curls bounced with every step, and her small voice chimed like a bell.

"Hi! I'm Grace!" she announced proudly, staring up at Ashley with a beaming smile.

Ashley looked up, surprised by the tiny visitor standing at their table. She and Rave exchanged amused glances before Ashley responded, "Well, hello, Grace. I'm Ashley, and this is my friend Rave."

Grace giggled and pointed at the empty chair next to them. "Can I sit?"

Ashley chuckled, picking up the little girl and gently placing her in the chair. "Of course you can."

Grace immediately made herself comfortable, swinging her tiny legs as she engaged them in a childish, animated conversation about her favourite animals and the rain. In the midst of Grace's animated storytelling, her gaze landed on the photo lying beside Ashley's diary. Her face brightened even more, if that were possible. She pointed with wide eyes.

"Hey! You know my uncle?!"

Ashley blinked, confused for a moment, her mind racing. Uncle? But before she could piece it together, a familiar voice—one that made her heart race—came from behind them.

“Grace! There you are,” Harry’s voice, deep and warm, drifted over. Ashley froze, recognizing it instantly. She turned slowly as Harry approached the table, his eyes locking onto Grace first before flicking over to meet Ashley's. “You little troublemaker!” he said, scooping his niece up from the chair. "You had me worried! You trying to get me in trouble with your mom?" He tickled her, and Grace let out a shriek of laughter.

Ashley stared at him, her mind racing. She couldn’t believe her own eyes at the scene in front of her. It was the Harry Styles—his familiar smile, the playful gleam in his eyes. The photo of him was still on the table between them, and Ashley swallowed nervously. She gestured Rave with her eyes to hide the picture so that the already good moment doesn’t turn into a awkward one. Rave quickly grabbed the picture and placed it inside the diary.

"Sorry about that," Harry said with an apologetic grin, ruffling Grace’s curls. "She’s more social than I’ll ever be, even with people her own age."

Ashley smiled, trying to steady her breath. "Oh, she’s been a complete sweetheart! Trust me.”

Harry stood beside the table, still holding Grace in his arms, his eyes fixed on Ashley. There was something in the way she looked at him—familiar, comfortable—but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it. He cleared his throat, trying to bridge the gap of time between them.

“So, what have you been up to? You know, aside from making new friends with little rebels like Grace,” he asked with a light chuckle, nodding toward his niece, who was currently fiddling with a napkin on the table.

Ashley smiled, feeling the warmth of his attention. “Oh, you know, the usual... college, assignments. Just trying to balance everything,” she said, then hesitated for a second, her eyes flicking out the window to the rain-soaked streets. “And, uh… I sing part-time at this little place downtown.”

Harry raised an eyebrow, interest immediately piqued. “You’re singing? Like... professionally?”

Ashley gave a small laugh, suddenly feeling a bit self-conscious. “Well, I don’t know if you’d call it professional. It’s just a gig at this local bar. Helps with the rent, you know?”

“Really?” Harry tilted his head, surprised. “I didn’t know that. How long have you been doing that?”

Ashley shrugged. “A few months, I guess. It’s tough, but I love it. Singing’s always been... everything to me. Even when I’m struggling, it’s kind of the one thing that keeps me going.”

Harry’s expression softened, and for a moment, he could see her in a new light—not just as the girl he’d met through his niece, but as someone who was quietly fighting her own battles in the background, chasing her dreams just as he had once done. There was something about her honesty, her vulnerability, that tugged at him.

Just as Harry was about to ask more, Grace’s small voice cut through their conversation. “Uncle Harry, look!” she giggled, reaching for Ashley’s diary on the table. “She has a picture of—”

Ashley’s eyes widened slightly, her heart skipping a beat. Before Harry could react, she quickly leaned forward and placed a finger playfully over Grace’s lips. “Shhh...,” she said in a conspiratorial whisper, grinning at the little girl. “That’s our little secret, okay?”

Grace giggled, nodding, her curls bouncing with the movement.

Harry glanced between the two of them, his brow furrowed slightly with curiosity, though he didn’t press the matter. A small smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. “What’s this about a picture?”

Ashley waved it off with a light laugh, trying to play it cool. “Oh, nothing. Grace is just being... well, Grace.”

But before Harry could probe any further, his phone buzzed in his pocket. He pulled it out and glanced at the screen, his expression shifting as he saw his sister’s name flash across it. “It’s Gemma. I should probably get Grace back to her before she sends out a search party.” Harry quips, says his sister’s name like the girls already knew her.

Ashley nodded, a mix of relief and disappointment settling in. “Of course, don’t let me keep you.”

Harry stood up straighter, adjusting Grace in his arms as he pocketed his phone. “But hey, I’d really like to see you again,” he said, his tone sincere, his eyes meeting hers with a warmth that made her heart skip. “Maybe... we could catch up properly sometime?”

Ashley smiled, her nerves fluttering unexpectedly. “I’d like that.”

Harry gave her one last glance, his gaze lingering on her longer than usual, as if he wanted to say something more but wasn’t quite sure how to. Instead, he simply nodded. “I’ll make sure of it.”

As he turned to leave, Grace wriggled in his arms, leaning toward Ashley with a wide smile. “Bye, Ashley!” she chirped.

Ashley leaned forward, her voice dropping to a whisper, her eyes sparkling with amusement. “Remember, Grace—our little secret, okay?”

Grace giggled again, nodding furiously. “Okay! Secret!”

Harry glanced down at Grace, raising an eyebrow. “What secret?”

“Nothing,” Ashley and Grace said in unison, causing both women to burst into laughter.

Harry gave them both a bemused smile before shaking his head. “Alright, alright. I’ll leave you two to your secrets.”

With one final smile, Harry was about to walk out of the coffee shop, when Grace break lose from her uncle’s grasp and runs back to Ashley, “Oh my, little escapist!” chuckling to herself she bends down to wrap her arms around the little girl and gently kissing her forehead before releasing her, “I’ll see you soon okay? Don’t wanna keep your uncle waiting now, do we?” Grace nods her head swiftly before giving a soft peck on Ashley’s cheek and running off to Harry who watched the whole interaction with sweet smile never leaving his face. He grabbed his niece’s hand and stepped out of the coffee parlour, the bell above the door jingling softly as it closed behind him. Ashley watched him disappear into the rainy streets, her mind still buzzing from the unexpected encounter.

As she sat back in her chair, she found herself smiling. The feelings were resurfacing for Harry—something that had always drawn her in. And now, even after all this time, that feeling hadn’t faded. If anything, it was stronger.

Rave, who had been quietly observing the entire interaction, finally leaned in with a teasing grin. “Well, that was interesting.”

Ashley chuckled, shaking her head. “Yeah… interesting is one way to put it.”

“She really adores you.”

“Me too.”

STORY MASTERLIST

Tag-List: @prettygurl-2009 @sassamanda77 @thecuriousbeauty @daisyblog

Posted on: September 30th, 2024

[fireboltposts]

• I'm visiting my hometown and there was a major festival called Durga Puja a few days ago and so it made me think why not write something about it which includes my ultimate bias Bang Chan.

• Here Bang Chan is not a Stray Kids member, just a regular boy.

• Where my desi Stays at ?

• Anyways for context Durga Puja, is an annual festival originating in the Indian subcontinent which reveres and pays homage to the Hindu goddess Durga, and is also celebrated because of Durga's victory over the demon Mahishasura.

• You had met your best friend Chan when you went to study MBA in a reputed Australian university. Despite your cultural differences y'all became fast friends, bonding over similar music tastes.

• Your other friends there called you things like "two peas in a pod" and "everlasting friends", one never leaving the other alone.

• He was always in awe of your Indian/Bengali culture. You were one of those who took immense pride in their culture, never one to shy away about being Indian. He was always asking you questions about your culture and you found his curiosity really impressive and daresay, cute.

• So naturally after you went back home after your MBA y'all kept in touch for a year when it finally occurred to you that you missed your best friend and texting and video calling just wasn't enough.

• So you invited him over after informing your parents. Your Indian parents raised their eyebrow at first at you at the idea of a "forsha chele" (white guy) and after bombarding multiple questions at you about Chan like "what does he do?","what are his future plans?""do you like this boy?","where did you two meet in University, you went to befriend boys in the university instead of studying?"(at which you rolled your eyes) , your parents hesitantly agreed to have him over.

• This was Chan's first trip to a foreign country and he was excited to go meet with his best friend whom he missed a ton too.

• His flight landed at 5pm on a Tuesday in the Indian time and soon y'all headed to your home in Kolkata. The city was full of colorful banners and people, all busy shopping for the upcoming festival.

• "Wow it's crowded", Chan giggled, "but I like the smell of this flower that I'm getting, it's strong but pleasant". "You'll find this saptaparni flower growing only during this time Channie", you explain, as you go shopping after some time for some Indian attire.

• He shyly asked to try out Indian attire and you pleasantly surprised at the request. So you took him out shopping, with your protective parents in tow, who were smitten with Chan since his first "Nomoshkar" (Bengali version of Namaste, a form of Indian greeting) with folded hands. They eagerly helped the shy and overwhelmed Chan choose his outfits and you felt for a second as if he was their child and not you and you found it adorable how well he was getting along with your parents.

• Soon the days of the festival finally arrived. You had heart eyes seeing Chan in traditional attire and can't help but blush a bit at the sight of your best friend, but you'd never admit it to him, yet you showered the shy boy with compliments and he giggled cutely and went "naurrrr" and hid his face in his hands.

• He, too, was blushing and gushing at how beautiful you looked in a saree. This was his first time seeing you in Indian attire too

• For five days straight, you went to different pandals in the city. (pandal is a large, temporary, open-sided tent that is often used for religious or other gathering). He was in awe of their exquisite artwork and the decorations and fairy lights and the goddess idols displayed. He was constantly taking photos and videos on his phone. He even took goofy ,silly selfies with you.

• You were too concentrated on his childlike awe at everything going on. You had never seen him like this before and secretly you found it too too adorable.

• Then came the street food, poor boy couldn't handle too much spice but luckily you had carried some small chocolates and water with you, knowing this could be an issue. As the days went by, he had tried a lot of Indian dishes and Bengali sweets as well.

• Even the friends from your locality were smitten by this boy's charms.

• On the day of the immersion of the idol, he had joined you in dancing to the upbeat music of the band playing along with the drummers. He was feeling shy at first but you pouted "pleaseee" and how could he say no to your puppy eyes especially with you looking that beautiful in your black saree.

• Soon it was time for him to go back to Australia and you were feeling down as you didn't know when you'd meet next. Your parents packed him lots of Indian food for him and told him to go safely and call you as soon as he landed so they knew he'd be safe.

• You hugged Chan on the roof of your house, crying as you didn't want to let him go and he gently rubbed your hair whispering things like "I'll be back Y/N",don't cry please it breaks my heart".

• You hugged Chan tightly again outside the airport despite the other passengers giving you both weird looks and Channie planted a sweet kiss on your cheek which made you blush and smiled at you one last time and stepped inside the airport, waving at you.

Pdhajwisuyeja I wrote ittt finally I don't know what was I thinking ahhhh 🫣🫣.
